In Kichikuou Rance you can see his whole giant body in rance x he just looks like human with 2 hoes attached to his arms during fight are those girls random or are they some important characters i didn't finish Kichikuou.

Weaklings after getting tortured: I need therapy, time to rest, maybe a healing spell.
Lia after being tortured for a month straight: "*Rapes torturer*, anyway, wanna go look at some of my old photo albums?"

The quality of rance 03 really increased quite rapidly when it came to the siege of the leazan capital.

For any resident third-worlders here I suggest buying them from JAST since they have regional pricing which includes areas which are not covered by Steam, such as Yuropoor. These games are half the price there compared to any other store.

VI has an unofficial patch and localized Takega Satsu dlc, are there similar must have patches for Sengoku?

There is a patch to use the "original" terminology for things (JAPAN vs Nippon, Demons vs Fiends, etc) https://mega.nz/file/pYozTCTD#FPcpL0vDBHxcDMKQu9bLs6tabLxLbJDbmk6CwmitsIg but I am not aware of any gameplay patches for sengoku, aside from the darkness hero mod which is more of a total conversion.

I think mangagamer got better in general at technical localization as things went on. Rance quest magnum even included the unofficial double xp mod made by TADA.

My team has the sexiest and deadliest waifus you can recruit.
which one to buy and play while working?
I'd start with VI then move to Sengoku (VII). Very different games, VI is a blobber carried by the writing while Sengoku is grand strategy where the gameplay is more important. I think VI also comes bundled up with 5D which is like a game made specifically with you in mind.

The joke is that 5D is more of a collection of RNG's stapled together than an actual game.

You should not play any Rance game while working, because they're heavily NSFW and if your boss notices you're getting fired for sure.

New Rance mod... apparently TADA asked for permission from Alicesoft to share it on his blog. Looks really cool.
Official darkness hero mod?

I'll have to check this out at some point, but I assume it only works with the japanese version of the game. But I also find the sandbox mode of sengoku to be a bit dull.

A lot of the graphics are clearly ripped straight from X.

I finished part 2, and it was rather disappointing both from gameplay perspective and story, i wish they would just end at part 1 and make another game instead of this half-baked epilogue.

Yeah. Although to be fair, I think a lot of the emotional payoff is lost as a lot of Rance's future adventures play during the credits, but it's way too fast and backgroundy to easily translate. The fight against the embodiment of former demon kings is also cool, although my lore checks are not good enough to fully appreciate it.

I think it's an ok ending to the series in terms of story. But having it locked behind "mastery" of the core game, and then have the part 2 gameplay be easier and with some mechanics removed feels really bad.

In other news, I've added avatars to the codex for 01, 02 and RQM. Will likely be adding 03 and VI soon as well. I wish there was a non-female character with the 'divine' artstyle of Alice/Quetzacotl, I really dig it.

There's Cola:

I don't think you can expect a male character to have the same attention as ALICE/ La Vaswald/ Quelplan.

Nice job on the avatars! Although the RQM ones are a little rectangular.
